“The bowling is a good success. It is absolutely wonderful to witness individuals over come obstacles and realise their own potential. And we always manage to have a fun time.
It has been very encouraging to watch the number of troopers taking part in the bowling gradually increase. We generally have a pool of 11 bowlers with 8 coming along every second Friday.
Bowling is a very social activity. It can be whatever you want it to be, a social activity with friends or if you are more competitive, you can play from domestic league matches to internationally as a para bowler.
It is a very social time for the troopers, we do play a match, usually pairs or triples (3 in a team). As much as we say it’s friendly, there is a competitive edge with plenty of banter between teams, but we always stop for a cuppa, biscuit and a catch up with each other.” …Pauline
